The Boy Who Loved the Moon
by Rino Alaimo
A young boy falls in love with the Moon and tries to win her heart by offering her lavish gifts. He slays the dragon and travels down into the deepest ocean, but the Moon is unimpressed. Finally the boy finds one thing that will touch the Moon's heart and win her love.
This book is so imaginative! The plot is like a dream and it doesn't quite make sense. The magic is mysterious and strange. You never quite know what is going to happen, but if you can just let the enchantment wash over you and accept whatever wild things come along, you will enjoy it.
The illustrations are dark and beautiful. The moonlight truly appears to glow and shimmer on the page. I love the soft art style, and the lovely designs for the boy and the scenery. It has a soothing quality, like a soft dreamy pillow. It gives me the feeling that you would have to whisper if you were reading it out loud. It's the perfect bedtime book!
